Welcome to HELPD v1.2 !
HELPD is a pc-based program that allows you to centralize your
critical help desk functions such as PC problem logging, user questions and
answers, quick access to phone numbers of technical support staff and much
more, all in a user-friendly environment.
Version 1.2 allows the user to print out to a on-line printer, the
PROBLEM.LOG file(option #7 of main menu) and also allows the user to append
to the site's phone/contact list(PHONE.LST). There is now a new field called
"TRACKING NUMBER", which you can use to maintain tracking records for each
problem call, by giving each problem/user call a tracking number. This number
can be tailored to your site's specific numbering system.
This program (README.EXE) will create two data files that HELPD.EXE uses,
called PHONE.LST and PROBLEM.LOG. These are the phone/contact list
and the problem log(both user and pc combined) respectively.
PLEASE BE SURE TO KEEP PROBLEM.LOG, PHONE.LST and HELPD.EXE ALL IN THE
SAME DIRECTORY OR ON THE SAME DISK. DO NOT WRITE PROTECT THE DISK, IF THE
THREE FILES ARE BEGIN KEPT ON FLOPPY DISK !
Finally, one of the options that HELPD has, is to stay memory resident
so that you can run DOS commands or other programs. When using this option,
please be careful to return to the directory(or subdirectory) that the
three files(HELPD.EXE, PHONE.LST and PROBLEM.LOG) reside. If HELPD does
not find these files upon returning from DOS, then HELPD will terminate.
